---|---|---|---|---|
What are the transmitter, transmitting medium, and the transceiver
These are the three essential elements of telecommunications
|
What is ELF (up to 300Hz)
One way communication to submarines
|
What is signal propagation
Radio signal getting from transmitting antenna to receiver's antenna
|
What is modulation
process of combining RF and AF signals
|
What is a Harmonic
Exact multiple of the fundamental frequency (even and odd)
|
What is to transfer information almost instantaneously from one point to another
The purpose of telecommunications
|
What is EHF
Used for experimental purposes
|
What are Reflection, Refraction, and Diffraction
Effects of Environment on Wave Propagation
|
What is Heterodyning
Combining/Mixing two frequencies so that four output frequencies are produced
|
What is SubHarmonic
Exact submultiple of the fundamental frequency (1/2, 1/4)
|
What is 30kHz-300GHz (Radio) and 20Hz-20KHz (Audio)
These are the radio and audio frequency ranges
|
What is UHF (300MHz-3GHz)
Most dependable short-range tactical communcation
|
What are the types of Space Wave Propagation
Direct Wave, Ground Reflected, and Sky Waves
|
What are Frequency SIdebands
Band of frequencies higher/lower than carrier frequency
|
What is suppression
Elimination of undesired portion of a signal
|
What is any frequency that can be modulated to carry intelligence (speech, music, images, or signals)
The carrier frequency
|
What makes up UHF, SHF, and EHF
Microwave Range (?)
